Larry Fitzgerald to make large contribution to Breast Cancer Research - Phoenix arizona cardinals | Examiner.com
For All-Pro WR Larry Fitzgerald, who lost his mother, Carol, to breast cancer in 2003, raising awareness for breast cancer research is a very personal resolution. That is why, in honor of the NFL’s "A Crucial Catch" campaign, Fitzgerald pledged to donate $1,000 for every catch and an additional $5,000 for every TD he made in the month of October to breast cancer awareness.
Business Trip Home For Fitz
Larry Fitzgerald, a Viking. Even Fitzgerald said it’s true. OK, OK, everyone settle down. It doesn’t mean Fitzgerald wants to be a Viking. He was talking about his days of youth, when he was a teen growing up in Minnesota with his job as a ball boy for the team. He wasn’t on the roster, but that didn’t mean he didn’t think of himself in that way.
Arizona Cardinals' Beanie Wells remains iffy for Sunday
Running back Beanie Wells missed part of a second consecutive day of practice on Thursday because of a reaction to an injection he received in his right knee earlier in the week. Wells, who underwent knee surgery in September, received an injection of Orthovisc, which is designed to provide lubrication in the joint, coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
NFC West Penalty Watch: OL flags - NFC West Blog - ESPN
The Arizona Cardinals have dramatically reduced penalties in recent weeks. Officials flagged Arizona 37 times in the Cardinals' first four games and only 14 times in the subsequent three.

Beanie Wells Knee Injury Gives LaRod Stephens-Howling A Chance To Fly For Cardinals - Desert Dirt - SB Nation Arizona
Arizona Cardinals' former rookie Beanie Wells is once again limited this week from practice due to swelling in his right knee. It would seem this time coach Ken Whisenhunt isn't bluffing (although do we ever really know?) as Wells has said that the problem is an allergic reaction to a lubricant injected into the previously surgically repaired knee.

azcentral.com blogs - Kent Somers - Beanie's knee and lubrication
If I ever become seriously ill, I'm driving straight to the closest headquarters of an NFL team. Everyone there is always getting better. That's the standard answer from players and coaches when you ask, "How is so and so?" I asked Beanie Wells today how he was feeling and he quickly replied: "I'm getting better.'
azcentral.com blogs - Kent Somers - Beanie says he'll play
RB Beanie Wells said hello to reporters as he came off the practice field today and announced, "I'm going." I asked him if that meant he was not only going to Minneapolis, but playing against the Vikings, too. "I'm going to play," Wells said.

Cardinals still seeking an answer at QB
Derek Anderson was asked Wednesday why, given the inherent performance, media and fan pressures, anybody wants to play quarterback in the NFL. "Obviously I didn’t understand the scale of how big it was until I got here," the Cardinals quarterback said. "It was more of a game to me, just going out and having fun with my buddies. That’s what I’m trying to get back to doing – understanding it’s just a game and approach every down that way. Then I think I’ll see some more success."
Cardinals report (11.03): Focus on team pays off for Anderson
The Cardinals’ quarterback carousel continues to spin, as Derek Anderson will start after backing up rookie Max Hall for the previous three games. Arizona’s offense operated more efficiently with Anderson under center, and his experience should give him a better shot to overcome the harsh environment on the road in Minnesota.

Matt Leinart supporter states case for QB - NFC West Blog - ESPN
The Arizona Cardinals' struggles at quarterback have invited criticism over the team's handling of the position.

Allergic reaction hampers Beanie
Running back Beanie Wells said it was an allergic reaction to a lubricant injection for his right knee — and nothing that happened in a game — Monday that caused the swelling that has limited him in practice. Because of that, he and coach Ken Whisenhunt are hopeful it will have dissipated by tomorrow and allow Wells to go back to work. Both stress nothing is wrong structurally.
Beanie: "I’m playing"
Running back Beanie Wells indeed did more work Friday and said after practice, "I’m playing" as he gets through the swelling on his right knee brought on by an injection of lubricant earlier this week. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said barring any further swelling tomorrow — which is not expected — Wells should be fine to play Sunday. At this point, the only player I don’t think will be available is linebacker Clark Haggans (groin).
